I am in Portugal right now and have tasted the local red wines, i.e. Alentejo, and nothing really good yet. I thought that in this PR thread I could get good advice regarding which Alentejo to buy or possibly from another region. Nick from Lisbon and others will know Portuguese wines better than me...

I worked for over ten years for a Greek shipowner who openly referred to MSC as the Mafia Shipping Company and regularly stated their business was the transport of cocaine.

When I read the title my immediate thought was is MSC involved.

Was in Galicia last summer and had an enjoyable week tasting various albarinos. My wife bought two magnums of Mar de Frades based on the fact she liked the colour of the bottles and I have to say I was a little underwhelmed by the wine in comparison to others when we got round to drinking it. Coinci...

https://twitter.com/PaulBrandITV/status/1108319234709442560 Labour are absolutely barmy, they want a three months extension which they think will be enough time for Jezza (who has no mandate) and the EU to do a complete deal. Normally McDonnell is the voice of reason in Labour :( Dont know how much...

I tend to drink wine nearly every day bar illness but not excessively. Currently am giving up during the week and only drink Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime.

Explains a lot. Lucille has just left the shooter with four hungry kids and a crop in the field.

You make a very good point even if by accident. One of the reasons we should jetison the UK talks is to focus on day to day business. This Brexit nonsense is taking up far too much of our time to be worth continuing with the farce. This IS Brexit business. The EU is trying to take control of all Eu...

Spare a thought for the riders in today`s stage of the volta de Portugal with the current extreme weather conditions. Its a 204km stage between Beja and Portalegre in the Alentejo region. Forecast highs are 45C for Beja and 43C for Portalegre but heaven knows what the effective temperature will be o...

Big game today is Spain Portugal. Despite the hype (CR7 v Ramos etc) expect a cagey low scoring game.

You need to reboot bruh. Once again the UK government accused Russia without providing any conclusive evidence. Even to this day there's no evidence whatsoever. What you're doing now with your word salad in some circles is called propaganda. They did provide evidence, enough so that an initially sc...

Did my first 10k in my mid forties in 53 mins. I was 55 at Easter and now cannot get under an hour. My decline has been very steady at around 1 minute a year as are my 2K row times at 10 seconds a year (I cant get under 8 minutes any more). My weight has been a fairly constant 80kg over this period....

Can the Russians kicked out of one country be transferred to the Russian diplomatic missions in another country or are they banned from all the participating countries?

Hi LN. I've no skill whatsoever. Check out Warner Edwards "Curiosity" still. It's custom built, made in Germany. We know the lads very well and went to one of the weddings. They are just up the road.

Surprised UK beats Germany. Then again those German car companies are very dodgy and I'm sure plenty of pols are in their pockets.

Oundle! Have a good time.

I suspect a visit to Chateau Talbot is preferable to Oundle`s Talbot Hotel.

The real question is why doesn't the 2nd largest city in England have a team in the Premier League? Well it's got West Brom, which is practically Birmingham with Villa and Birmingham City in the Championship (for now) Plus Villa gets huge crowds even as they play in the second tier. Also both Villa...
